...and He will be

the stability of your times.

              Isaiah 33. 6

(No matter what

is swirling all around us,

    the LORD holds us fast.

Even in mystery,

even through the miry bog,

or the ascent that appears

            to go on forever,

we are not alone.

God walks with us,

gives us the strength we need

              right at the moment,

and His peace

   by following Him through it.

"We don't know what to do,

      but our eyes are on You."

               2 Chronicles 20.12)

O LORD God,

You are God,

      and we are not.

You keep us not just steady

         in the scary places,

You are our stability

          all the time..

We stake our lives on You.

Help us to be faithful to You

       in the everydays

that we will know how

      to trust You in the crisis.

We love You.

We know that You love us

                    even more.
